Friends Card

Love the Cover a Card Backgrounds from Impression Obsession! Jeanne stamped the white panel with Peeled Paint ink and then stamped (without reinking) again on the white panel and phrase panel to create a muted pattern. Who needs pattern papers when you have so many great backgrounds to choose from?

Card uses C3625 Truly Great Friends and CC027 a Card Flourishes.

The countdown is on for the Birthday Party on Sunday afternoon from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. We're busy with the preparations and getting the store ready. Lots of 'open catalogs' to order from . . .

• Memory Box
• Judikins
• Magenta
• Hero Arts
• Just-Rite
• Outlines

You're welcome to come into the store before Sunday to get a head start on looking through the various catalogs and putting your pink sheets together. That way you'll have more time to spend looking at the demo's, selecting your balloon to pop to see what discount you're going to receive on your purchases that afternoon, and trying a new product that you will use to create a make-'n-take. So much to do in just 3 hours!

Trying to make room for the debut of new papers on Sunday afternoon, I've cleared out several Webster's Pages 12x12 sheets and put them into this month's 31% discount box up front, as well as sheets from Core'dinations.

And I want to wish my sweet husband a very Happy Birthday . . .

it's hard to believe you're __!

You choose which thoughts to hold, which ones to build upon, & which ones you leave behind. That choice can make an enormous difference.
